The Mountaineer Country
Start with the descendants of European immigrants who came in the 19th and 20th centuries
to mine coal, lay railroads, cut timber and build factories. Add the flock of mountain
bikers, hikers, rafters, kayakers, rock climbers and nature lovers who come for the
mountains, rivers, lakes and trails. The rolling hills of Mountaineer Country help to
preserve the area’s rich mountain customs and old world style. Parks and forests offer
scenic overlooks and virgin forests virtually untouched by mankind. Home to research,
development and academic tradition, the region is rich in captivating cultural events,
fairs, festivals and living history programs.
